Project 481

Project: YOE mermaid


My new etching interest produced an etched mermaid on a make-up compact mirror. It came out really cute for August YOE ornament project. Go here to see how it's done.

Also, an appliqued mermaid on a hand towel.

 This mermaid has green hair. She is supposed to be enchanting. I took a mermaid template, cut it into sections and choose fabric remnants to put her back together.

Tis the season

I'm liking me some football. We'll be cheering on the Saints and the LSU tigers. 

With a little bit of clothing attire to match.  Have you seen the collegiate  pom-pom knit gloves, especially  in purple and gold? I like them. But probably wouldn't wear them in public.  I'll just stick to my saints and lsu's tees and shorts. Oh and matching flip flops.

Here's to the fans.

Is there a doctor in the house?

No. But maybe one day.

Jennifer is continuing her nursing education.

When she grows up she wants to be a doctor.

Some People

Some people are living the good life this week.

That would be Brandon and Julie on a weeks vacation.

This is the view from their balcony in Destin.

They are texting me pictures, knowing I love the beach. 

Looks like they are not the only ones on a last vacation before school starts back.

Wish i was there!

Friday

It's Friday at life.rearranged with a story in cell phone pictures of the week.
What is this about "peace sign" tees?
I have bought two this week.
Do you know it's an anti-nuclear symbol?
I saw a picture of Malia Obama with a peace-tee on this week too!

And I kinda like them.

Wednesday I returned Molly-dog to her rightful owner.
At 7am in the morning.
We met half way at a McDonalds.
She spent a week with us while her owners were in Destin for a fabulous beach holiday.

Doing a little wedding planning over the cell phone with Jennifer while we both look things up on the internet.
Taking a cell picture of a picture on the internet then picture messaging them back and forth to each other.
It's almost like being in the same room.

And, my husband thinks if Bass Pro does not make it in the week, well then, the week is just not complete.

Happy July 4th holiday weekend.

Molly-dog is spending the holiday with us. I think she's enjoying herself.

Macy, wish you were here too.

We have been fishing for two days in a row. We have caught ZERO. unless you count the one that got away. We've used fake lures,  real live bait, cute and pretty lures,  and even the lures the tournament pros recommend.
 

  We need a fishing tour guide. Because this ain't gonna cut it when I sign us up for all those fishing tournaments.
